🧵Missed diagnoses, delayed treatment and poor medical care are driving record deaths in ICE custody. @kolyncheang.bsky.social and I spent months investigating the deaths of ICE detainees across the US. Over and over again, we found lapses in treatment that proved fatal.

I learned today about an instance of the feds tying transportation funding explicitly to the jurisdiction signing a contract to allow ICE activities. Is anyone tracking all the places that is happening, and what projects? Maybe @alexkarner.bsky.social ?

Commentary: Because of the slashing of RIPTA’s service, affecting 45 out of its 63 lines, tens of thousands of Rhode Islanders have lost time, income, and the ability to access educational, civic, medical, commercial, and religious opportunities.

@chittimarco.bsky.social thought you might be able to help, I’m not seeing any English coverage - how far does Calabrian railways currently operate (if at all) on the line through Catanzaro? Is it still a rack railway? Why were/are there 2 separate lines from Catanzaro Lido to Catanzaro Sala?

Here’s a TOP SECRET funicular railway the GOVERNMENT doesn’t want you to know about
